The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to... Thermal Management: A Fabricator’s Perspective
Finally, here’s an RF book from the fabricator’s point of view. This book gives PCB designers valuable insight into what it takes to build an RF PCB. For the first time, designers get a complete understanding on how their designs become a reality.
Solid descriptions abound for all thermal management PCBs—from insulated metal substrates to metal-core boards—this one book teaches designers everything they need to know when it comes having a clear picture of how their designs become a reality, including diagrams outlining the actual process steps for each type of thermal technology board.
One of the true strengths of this book is the clarity with which the author describes all types of thermal management boards. Designers and other engineers needing this type of technology will gain a very clear picture of how the PCBs are fabricated, including some tips and suggestions that will prove valuable as they design the actual end product.
To further help designers, the author offers guidelines for which type of thermal management PCB to call out, providing the right solution for the right need.
Two things that should not be overlooked when reading the book. Suggestion: read it all the way to the end.
- Appendix A: Talks about the testing methods to measure the actual conductivity of IMPCB and MCPCB materials.
- Appendix B: The author offers a very useful Lamination Selection Guide.
I urge any PCB designer or engineer dealing with thermal management products to make sure that this book is kept handy at all times.
